It has been two weeks, and China finally decides to look for 200 of its 1 billion 200 million people. Thank you for your help. When will the ships arrive to search the area for wreckage? Four more days, thank you.

Wow, you have just took everything from my mouth.
China's luck of interest in the search is beyond my comprehension and it really stands out. US, Australia, Japan are spending millions for the search while China spends none?. A two third of passenger is Chinese. Unbelievable.

China is not stupid. They let everyone else spend millions with loads of military resources trying to look like good neighbors. China's contribution will end up a minor amount and role here as they could care less about the missing jet with 200+ chinese nationals when they have much bigger issues at home to solve. When search and rescue becomes a recovery mission maybe not even that as it looks now, economics play a big part, so let the other guys who want the publicity spend their money, resources and stupidly show China what surveillance toys they have to bear.

Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? That seems to be the thought of CCP. Why should CCP be too interested? The busybodies are plenty busy enough. Also, CCP don't care to tip their hand and reveal the degree of their tech, either. Why would CCP care a flip about a few people anyway? I'm not saying I agree with the train of thought, but that's the ugly reality.
Personally, I hope the plane's location and condition are discovered and revealed very soon for the families' sake.
